0x226C

0x226C is a hexadecimal code that corresponds to the Unicode scalar U+226C, placed in the Mathematical Operators block of the Unicode standard. It is categorized as a relational operator and is used within mathematical and logical notation. The precise visual appearance of the symbol depends on the font and rendering system being used, so its glyph can vary across platforms.

In terms of interpretation, characters in this region are reserved for specialized relation symbols and their exact meaning is defined by the Unicode standard and the mathematical context. As with other complex symbols, users should rely on the surrounding notation and documentation to convey the intended relation, since a single glyph can resemble related operators in some fonts.

Encoding and compatibility notes: like other Unicode characters, U+226C is supported across modern text systems, but font coverage may affect whether a glyph is displayed directly or substituted with a generic placeholder. In web contexts, it can be referenced using a numeric character reference, for example referencing the code point as ≬ or ≬ in HTML.

Related symbols and context: U+226A through U+226F cover a family of related relational operators, including various forms of less-than and greater-than relations. These code points are commonly used in mathematical typesetting, algorithmic notation, and formal logic, and they are implemented in many math fonts and rendering engines.
